President Trump accused Germany Wednesday of being “captive” to Russia because of a plan to expand a “massive” oil and gas pipeline to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany.

“It’s very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia where we’re supposed to be guarding against Russia, and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia,” Trump said before meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the NATO summit in Brussels.

“If you look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia, because they supply — they got rid of their coal plants, got rid of their nuclear, they’re getting so much of the oil and gas from Russia. I think it’s something NATO has to look at,” Trump said
